About Peach Growers Information

This website is designed as a one-stop shop to provide commercial growers, home gardeners and Extension agents with comprehensive information about peaches, including management, production, weather and marketing materials. Special thanks to the N.C. Tobacco Trust Fund Commission for its support in the development of this resource.

Extension agents and growers can find research-based information specific to North Carolina peach production on this site, whether the information originated in the Department of Horticultural Science, Agricultural and Resource Economics, Plant Pathology, Entomology, Biological and Agricultural Engineering or the State Climate Office.

Success in agriculture requires a multidisciplinary approach. The goal in designing information portals is to save growers and Extension agents time and effort by creating a one-stop-shop for a specific agricultural commodity, in this case, peaches.

In addition to faculty contributions, this site will include feature articles about growers and industry representatives sharing their own experiences. New growers will find resources specific to start-up, while new and experienced growers will recognize the convenience of the weather/climate links.

When a question about peaches comes to mind there’s no need to go globetrotting across the Internet; one stop at the Peach Growers Information Portal will provide the answer.

NC State University and N.C. A&T State University work in tandem, along with federal, state and local governments, to form a strategic partnership called N.C. Cooperative Extension, which staffs local offices in all 100 counties and with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
